RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 What boots did you end up getting? sorry to bring up an old thread, but it is time for me to buy some steel toe boots. http://tbl.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTBL-3728694v250.jpg They've been a great boot so far. Not as comfortable as I would like, but as long as I keep moving, they aren't bad at all. I tried the gel inserts for like the first 3-4 months when I got these but they were a waste IMO. They weren't any more comfy than the regular soles and were kind of a PITA when putting the boots on; they liked to roll and scrunch up, which was annoying as shit. I LOOOOOVE not having to tie my boots anymore in the morning. Slip on and go FTW. I also love the textured black part at the bottom. It's extremely durable which is good for me because I'm constantly kicking things at work as a form of persuasion. The steel toe makes that nice as well. One thing I learned real quick is to invest in a couple weeks worth of shin-high socks. Ankle-highs + those boots were fail for me the first day. Another trick I learned real quick, too, was to take the socks and fold them over the top of the boot. Otherwise, they'd slid down inside the boot and again, it was annoying. Overall, the best thing I found for comfort for me at work was to keep moving around. That works great M-F, but come Saturday, I'm stuck standing in front of a computer, dealing with customers, and don't get to walk a whole lot. My knees are about ready to give by noon on those days.

Nitrousbird Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I sport a pair of Redwing Lineman boots. Comfortable, and good for riding quads too. But not the walk around the office kind of boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Good thread, I've been looking for a good set of waterproof, insulated, zip-up, all black heavy duty boots for winter. I fell in love with a set of Rocky FirstMed (first gen, front zip) at their outlet but they didn't have my size. I'll take a look around at some of the suggestions, thank you.

Brrcats Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I never really liked my doc martens as work boots, They are fine if I'm not walking around much, but too much time on my feet and they start to hurt. I have a pair of red wings that are gore tex, insulated, and have the steel plate in the soft spot of the foot and those are the most comfortable boots I ever had. I used them when I used to work in a pigment factory in ashtabula. I was on my feet all day with no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excell Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Anywhere locally one can try on 5.11 boots? The 8" Sleet looks right up my alley, but I can't see buying boots without trying them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I bought a pair of timberland pros and they have been good for me. I stood on them for 10 hours one day last week in Kuwait on a hard concrete floor and my feet were ok come the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Ive worn wolverine boots for the past 2-3 years and they do alright. I just recently got a pair of Bates tactical boots and they are fuckin awesome. They have a zipper on the side so you dont have to lace them if you dont want too. And they are the composite ones so they are SUPER light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
